Rumor going around from GadgetsDNA.com that the HTC EVO will hit shelves before June 6th. According to the source BestBuy is already being briefed on the device, as well that pre-order should begin in late May in the form of a gift card. Let’s all hope this is true, as I can speak for myself and many of you out there that the day it comes out I will own it.
According to their post the news came from the “insiderâ€, who claims to be an Android certification engineer for Sprint, which you can see the statement below.
“[I’m a] Android certification engineer (build test apps for Sprint android extensions and review CTS results from device manufacturers), plus Sprint Navigation certification owner..
On devices like this though, our whole team (Product Development and Certification) gets involved in testing and ticketing issues. A lot of stuff just gets waived, but most of the legitimate stuff that I open a ticket on, even if it’s out of my area of expertise, gets taken seriously.â€
“We’re working out issues with power consumption in 3g and 4g idle mode. I’m personally making efforts to get HTC to improve the 720 video quality and camera auto focusing speed.
Also, in the last software build, they finally configured it so the dual LED flash would pulse first to determine focus and then a second time when the shot is captured.. Finally, clear, focused, fully lit photos that can be taken in complete darkness.â€
Asked – the week of June 6th or sooner release?
Answer – “Sooner.â€
